Cute house in Murfreesboro!
Centrally located near dining and shopping. House was very nicely decorated and plenty of space for our family of four. Owner was easy to communicate with. Some minor things we would change but overall we would stay here again if in the area. Be sure to check out Slick Pig BBQ near MTSU!

Temporary Housing
We placed a family here because they had some repairs going on in their home after an insurance claim. They were unable to live in their home during the repairs so we needed to find something close to home but that would also fit their needs. This property was perfect for them. The host was such a great help and very open to communication. Not one complaint from this family. We would highly recommend this for your next trip to Murfreesboro.

This was a excellent location and priced good for 6 ladies to stay at for a tennis tournament . Two small dislikes but wouldn’t change us from coming back again just would make the place a little nicer is a remodel on the pink bath and to clean or replace the two large floor rugs. This house was very cute and supplied nicely for our stay. The host was very accommodating . We will stay here again. Thank you Shelby

Concern about mildewy smell
We did enjoy our stay, especially the opportunity for the fire in the backyard. But I would not recommend the house for people with respiratory problems. I had a headache because of the smell. We were out and about a lot, though, so it was okay.

WOW-Great Location!
We enjoyed the space that this house affords and all of the amenities. We were a group of two older couples and a middle age couple. We had no issues during our stay and appreciated the attentiveness of the owners. If you need anything their cell numbers are on the fridge!

Family Christmas
We chose Murfreesboro as a somewhat central location for our family to meet and celebrate Christmas. It actually snowed while we were there which gave several of us the chance to experience our first “white Christmas “. The house was perfect for our needs. We appreciated the decorated Christmas tree! Because our stay was on a holiday, we had to do a lot of our own cooking as most restaurants were closed. We could have used a couple of dish towels and another oven mitt. The salt was almost out too, but otherwise, everything was perfect.

Heart of MTSU
You couldn’t ask for a better location if you are traveling here for anything MTSU related! What a fantastic cottage feel this home has. We had ample space for our group of 6. Having multiple king size beds is such a wondering option! I always hate sleeping in a queen when we travel. Kitchen was stocked amply for our needs, and we enjoyed breakfasts at the table each morning and made pizza once or twice. Laundry facilities were greatly appreciated as well! I wish the weather had been warmer so we could have utilized the wonderful outdoor spaces, but it was not to be this trip. We would definitely book here again!

Our stay at this property was great! The 4 bedrooms assured everyone had their own space. There was a old time charm with the decor and original wood floors, and the back yard being fenced in helped with the dog. It has updated appliances and entry of room. We would stay here again!

Terrible property
BEWARE!! Dirty, no towels, 2 broken beds, and after planning this family reunion for over 1 year, the owner told us just to leave and go to a hotel. Not even embarrassed or sorry for his property. Worst experience I ever had at a VRBO! Horrible owners.

Perfect for our purposes!
We went to TN from San Diego for my cousin’s college graduation - there were 7 of us and this was one of the few places that could accommodate that many with king/queen beds. Downside - there were only 2 bathrooms with one of them being inside one of the bedrooms so we had to coordinate our showers etc- no big deal. Quiet neighborhood, close to everything we wanted to see/do. Would definitely stay there again :)

Perfect for what we needed
We live in Murfreesboro and needed a place to stay while getting our wood floors redone. This was a perfect place for us - 4 bedrooms, two full baths and pet friendly. Decorated nicely, and bedrooms were a good size and spread apart where we all had privacy. Fenced yard for the poochies. TVs in each bedroom plus living room and you can upload your home streaming platform. Just down the street from The Boulevard restaurant, Slick Pig and Walgreens. This was a gem!
